Student Assessment in Tennessee

Students’ skills and academic progress are measured by a set of statewide assessments called the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program, or TCAP.

High school students take End of Course exams

Students in grades 3-8 take the Achievement Test

For districts who choose to participate, students in grades K-2 take the K-2 Assessment Test (formerly SAT-10)

The results of these assessments are reported to parents, teachers and administrators and can be found on the TCAP Results page or the annual Report Card, released each fall.
